Momentum

Wake-up feel: 6. Up at 5:05.

Body and mind as one — that was the condition before anything else had happened.

Exercises done. Then out on the winding road to meet the morning sun.

Cloudless blue sky. The cold north wind still there, steady off the Baltic, as it has been for days — the wind the people of this coastline have always known does not negotiate. It does not warm to make a point. It simply continues.

The sun already well up over the horizon. The mind went out over the Bodden and the reed fields, over the water still cold from winter, over five thousand years of people standing in this same wind and reading it.

At the far point of the road, turned. Stood still. Wind above. Under it, quiet — sound present but the world underneath it peaceful, held. No thought. The body and the landscape, for a moment in time and place, the same thing.

Four words came back: steady, momentum, steadfast, balanced.

Not chosen. Delivered.

Biodynamic: Wurzeltag. Moon in Stier. Absteigender Mondknoten at 13h. Moon enters Zwillinge at 19h — Blüte from evening.

The terrain is telling.
